Daily Outfit Idea: Spotted! A Ladylike Dress You Can Wear Anywhere

Today's outfit idea is one that (I'm hoping) will make you all want to wear your most ladylike dress to the office tomorrow. And if you're not headed to work, you'll want to wear it anyway, 'cause what you're about to see is just plain adorable.

Monica made a total statement in this dress today and all she did for this image of ladylike perfection was pair it with black tights, patent flats, and a skinny belt (her red lips and nails don't hurt the chic factor either!). So incredibly simple. And although the dress looks as if it cost hundreds, it didn't; she picked it up at H&M for $60! If you're loving this dress and need a similar version stat, look for a style made of chiffon fabric with a boat or scoop neck that's got a tiny print, and don't forget to cinch your waist!

Time to discuss: What's your take on today's look? Do you agree that sometimes, simple and understated is the way to go? What's your approach to your get-dressed routine? Accessorized to the max? Or minimal and chic like Monica?
